Apple season might just be one of the best times of the year. It signals the start of fall -- and seeing everyone gather up their families and go apple picking reminds everyone that fall has begun. After the apple picking has commenced, next comes the desserts.
You can make so many different desserts with apples, and the best spot to make them is in the slow cooker. It's quick, easy, and simple -- a dessert to suit all kinds of people.
